Timbercreek Financial Announces Dividend Reinvestment Plan

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - July 14, 2016) - Timbercreek Financial Corp. (TSX: TF) ("Timbercreek Financial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the implementation of a dividend reinvestment plan (the "Plan"). The plan provides eligible holders of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") a convenient means of purchasing additional Common Shares by reinvesting their cash dividends at a potential discount and without having to pay any commissions, service charges or brokerage fees.

At the discretion of Timbercreek Asset Management Inc., the manager of Timbercreek Financial, Common Shares for the reinvestment of distributions will be acquired in the open market at prevailing prices or issued from treasury at 98 percent of the average market price for the five day trading period ending on the third business day immediately prior to the dividend payment date. Common Shares acquired under the Plan will be automatically enrolled in the Plan.

The plan is similar to the dividend reinvestment plans that were maintained by each of Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation ("TMIC") and Timbercreek Senior Mortgage Investment Corporation ("TSMIC"), the predecessor companies of Timbercreek Financial, except that the discount at which Common Shares may be purchased under the Plan has been reduced to 2% in order to more closely align with current market practices. Shareholders who participated in the dividend reinvestment plans of TMIC or TSMIC will not be automatically enrolled in the Plan. Any shareholder who wishes to participate in the Plan must enroll in the Plan as described below.

A copy of the Plan is available on the Company's website at http://www.timbercreekfinancial.com/investor-relations/dividend-reinvestment-plan and will be filed on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Enrollment forms will be mailed to registered shareholders in the coming days and will also be made available on the Company's website and on the website of the plan agent at www.canstockta.com. Registered shareholders may also enroll in the Plan online through the plan agent's self-service web portal, Answerline™, at www.canstockta.com. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, financial institution or other nominee must enroll for distribution reinvestment through their nominee holder.
